I HAVE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM
MY MACHINE IS SIMILAR TO YOURS :- 1GIG ATH, 256MB, 32MB TNT2,
LATEST TNT2 DRIVERS, DIRECTX 8, SB128LIVE, WIN98.
MY COMPUTER FREEZES EVERY 5 MINS OR SO (I HAVE TO REBOOT)
ONLY WAY AROUND THE PROBLEM IS TO NOT USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION,
BUT JUST USE THE SOFTWARE DRIVER (SELECTABLE IN THE OPTIONS OF THE
GAME). YOU DONT NOTICE MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE GRAPHICS. I HAVE TRIED
DIRECTX 7 AND IT STILL DONE IT, I HAVE TRIED OLDER DRIVERS FOR THE
TNT2 CARD - NO BETTER. THE GAME HAS NOT FROZE ONCE WHILE USING THESE
SETTINGS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
